New LUFC Website layout. General consensus from Leeds United 606ers?

In a world where any change is seen as an imperative, what is the general consensus of Leeds United 606ers about the new design and layout of the website?

For me, even after just a few minutes use, I definitely think it's taken on a modernisation that has improved its usability.

What do others think - immediate impressions?

I like the direct link to the Dom Matteo Column

 

it is down at the minute for rebuilding.

 

Working fine for me here in Costa Rica.....

 

How strange, this is what I am getting in sunny Harrogate.

The dropdowns don't work.

 

Its working for me here in Durham! But I did have to refresh it for the dropdowns to work.

I put my thoughts on a different thread already but basically:

It did the autoplay on the old site too though, just a pet peeve of mine.

 

I've had to create NEW 'bookmark' to get it working - physically typing in the URL as a new page....saving it again as a bookmark - it now works just fine.

 

Sky sports banner at the top is too large in width which I find off putting, I too hate the font choice, it is awful and anyone who has done a little web design before will know how bad this is:

Code:

<meta name="Description" content="Description goes here">
    <meta name="Keywords" content="Keywords, go, here">
    
     
  	<title>Home | Leeds</title>

The source code has been exploded with white space, I find it hard to believe this was done by a professional.

Think it's fairly decent,drop downs are a bit annoying how's it going real estate?

 

http://www.performgroup.co.uk/ they are the company who made it and... As I suspected it is a generic site tweaked to suit Leeds United, here is a list of other sites they have created for teams, all looking pretty much the same in layout and design

I had an Interview with preform media last year.

There are still bit under construction by the looks of it.

It's not bad but the old site was easier to use in my opinion.

 

All the better for your Warm Welcome Michael

 

Its 'kin' irritating, as I couldn't log in to listen to the game today as it didn't recognise my password

 

If your accessing via a bookmark it might be worth deleting then re adding

 

Howya Bucks, that's what I did. I don't like it, but that's because I hate change. You know the way you get used to something. A bit like windows 7 then 8.
If it ain't broken...
